kinetic_honda on April 15, 2026 6:26 pm Such scary names. Why not name it the God of tickles and backrubs?
bovinecop on April 15, 2026 6:30 pm >astronomers are now confident that there is no risk of Apophis impacting Earth for at least 100 years Awesome, not my problem.

attorneyatslaw on April 15, 2026 6:35 pm The comments to that article are quite amusing. Reading is a lost art.
MrSempliciotto on April 15, 2026 6:39 pm I don’t like this name. Vincenzino sounds much better to me.
dom_bul on April 15, 2026 6:44 pm I had nightmares of Apophis back when there were chances of it hitting Earth
srandrews on April 15, 2026 6:50 pm So not visible in North America, will be visible two days ago in an article written one day ago. Wtf is wrong with social media. -edit I’m an idiot this is years from now article coincidentally matching this year’s dates.
moskov on April 15, 2026 7:05 pm the article clarifies it is only named after that god and is not the god itself
ShawshankException on April 15, 2026 7:17 pm Man I remember being absolutely terrified of this thing hitting Earth like 15 years ago
shanster925 on April 15, 2026 7:56 pm If it will pass between the earth and the moon, that’s too fucking close.

festosterone5000 on April 15, 2026 8:55 pm Slap a lander on there so we can accurately track it for a bunch of years and get good data!

OneXForreddit on April 16, 2026 2:49 am Why can’t we give these things more fun/ less intense names. Like imagine if we called this ” God of cute fluffy kittens” asteroid will be visible to the naked eye. Why tf it gotta be called ” God of chaos” when it literally isn’t causing any chaos? If we just picking names. I vote for fun ones

Carter, I can see my house.

Is there any way to make it hit the Earth sooner?
No rendezvous with Apophis? If it comes that close?
If it will pass between the earth and the moon, that’s too fucking close.
